Can’t Seem to Find Anything Good Out There

I study and write advertising for a living. My company has a variety of areas we focus in. I am always looking around for advertising that is good and different to show you, something that sets a new bar. Yet, I can’t seem to find anything of merit these days. Maybe it is the economy and the advertisers are being safe? Nobody taking chances to stand out?

If you read my last post, you saw the pathetic Pepsi Max and Doritos ads for the Super Bowl. A friend of mine pointed out these ads for Allstate which I do think are fairly decent for an insurance company. But other than that, I haven’t seen anything on TV or found anything in my searches worth posting. Take a look at these and tell me what you think. And if you have any suggestions for others, would love to hear them.

Anything you think breaks through the clutter and gets your attention. I did get a lot of feedback on the Pantene ad I posted a week ago, that was truly original and moving. But does anyone have any suggestions for me? If not, I will have to rely on my sarcasm and only focus on the stupid ads! In the meantime, you can watch these. Entertaining.
